Programs and brief descriptions:
- How to Work a Room™
Based on her international best-seller, "How to Work a Room"
"A room full of strangers" is identified as our #1 fear, yet most of us enter these rooms and face strangers OFTEN. These events are a source of professional and personal contacts. If we are uncomfortable when attending them, we miss opportunities.

Maintaining our interpersonal skills in an impersonal, internet world is difficult, and, yet, essential for success.

According to research at Harvard University and Stanford University, the people who will succeed in the year 2000 will be the people who can talk with other people. The ability to converse with ease is a key component of leadership as well as personal and professional success.
